you can kinda tell they spin, its just cuz of the video camera....but it still looks like it was sped up

Holy crap.

i think that was fake, the thing was like gone in two seconds

sean · 08-13-2004, 08:26 PM

im pretty sure it is faked, i looked at it frame by frame, looks like in the begining where the revs go all fast and all that the tires rotate forwards about 1/4 then all of the sudden skip bacwards again, then forwards another 1/4, all the exact same way, looks like the same clip over and over again real quick. not to mention the shadow that stays the exact same in the front of the bumper the whole time

Nope, it was real. I watched a LONG vid of it sometime ago. The thing was sick! It was not an Escort, some European Ford though. 4wd, full roll cage, and so forth. Stupidly powered. 0-100 was like under 6secs if I remember. Wish I could find the original link for it.

The LONG video was much more interesting to watch too. It showed them tuning the car and slowly getting it dialed in.

Hmm, that looks SOOO edited to me, but if you say so....

I looked at the link, looks like it belongs to Reyland or sponsored by Reyland? A search netted this vid.

Also, my searches show several articles referring to a crash resulting in death.

This car is indeed real! we call them Escorts over in the UK, that is an Escort Cosworth Rally car sponsored by Reyland, it would be extremely fast, probably 4 seconds to 60mph, they made Escort cosworth road cars also, 220bhp, 2.0 16v turbocharged.
